Anarchy in the UK: How David Cameron's surprise comeback shocked the world
About this episode
Westminster is echoing with accusations of betrayal.
The source of this indignation is former UK home secretary Suella Braverman. Braverman has been sacked by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after making a series of incendiary comments about the homeless, asylum seekers, and the Israel-Hamas war.
After Braverman’s ousting, Sunak announced a cabinet reshuffle. The big surprise? Former PM David Cameron has returned to political office as foreign secretary.
How has Cameron returned seven years after he resigned over his Brexit referendum? Can Sunak reunite the Conservative Party? And will Braverman behave on the backbenchers?
Today on The Front Page, UK correspondent Gavin Grey helps us come to grips with the turmoil that this Government has inflicted upon itself.
